Trying to muster the down payment to own your first home is a major task. Once a sufficient down payment is in place your financing is approved then deciding where to purchase a home is the next part of the journey.
The needs and wants list is made, and off you go with great joy. Your will and enthusiasm to succeed at this point is whow world get ready, I am out on a mission to find my "dream house."
This is where a professional, capable, caring Real Estate Agent is so important.

During this entire journey many things which I call other stuff is swimming in your head. What is stuff? Its the future colours you want to paint your living room, the type of flowers you want to purchase in the flower garden that you finally are going to have or maybe its pondering on how your tools are going to hang in the must have on the list double car garage instead of behind the back of shed. All this information is swimming in your head like sugar plums, meanwhile the space left inside your brain to keep you on the priority needs list and of course $$$ is sort of lets say trying to swim to the top of the 'TO DO" list. I know I've been there. I've put my italian leather couch many times in living rooms where I don't even own the house yet or could afford the downpayment. But oh no I knew that the leather couch would look great in that house living room or country kitchen. Am I setting the scene for you?
Soon we are going to include businesses , videos, and maybe a photo or two in the Cabins2Castles blog and I want to assure you all you first time home buyers who have the iron will that its purpose is not to take you away from the key factors of purchasing your first home. Its not insignificant stuff either. Its stuff to help, enhance, guide, you once you are ready for their services or what I say to first time home buyers "the stuff of owning a home".
Call these businesses if you need there services. I have created a relationship that is mutually beneficial for all of us.
From Cabins to Castles I love the entire process of bringing buyes and sellers together and all the people that promote and educate us on the stuff that we need inside and outside the home.Its all good.
Any suggestions or if you have an idea to make this blog better or you need me to find out some great stuff. Just consult me In Saint John 506 644 8412 or if you are from away we have a well oiled referral machine at Re/max that can find you the answers.
All the best and create the will to succeed by staying to your list of wants and needs.
By the way I never refuse a referral.
